The first family was not a dysfunctional family. In the book of origins, Genesis, we read about a good God who delights in the good world he created (Prov. 8:30-31). In this world, the first known human beings lived in sync and attunement with him and each other. Everything functioned perfectly. God made them in his image and likeness (Gen. 1:26). He assigned them to be his representatives on earth for his glory and the flourishing of all people (Gen. 1:27-28).

In his workbook Redemption, David Wilkerson describes it this way. He says, “To be made in the image and likeness of God means you are designed to represent God, to make him known, to reflect his glory like a mirror, to look like him.
God has made every human being in such a way that simply being human could make his presence known. For this reason, you have great dignity; not primarily because of your own goodness, but because you are made of the kind of stuff that is capable of making God’s much greater goodness visible to others.

This is the bedrock upon which the enduring dignity of every person is established—no matter how sinful, impaired, or oppressed, male or female, from the womb, every race, we are all created in his image and likeness.”

Parents play a large role in what causes a family to be dysfunctional. God's dysfunctional children Adam and Eve who we identified with last week, had children in their own image and in their own likeness. In other words, they had dysfunctional children. Shock and surprise, those dysfunctional children grew up to be dysfunctional parents.

Today we are going to see a pair of dysfunctional parents in action. We are going to see how the favoritism of Isaac and Rebekah for their sons Jacob and Esau created dysfunction in their family. But once again we are also going to see how in the midst of this dysfunction the Lord continues to function as our God of grace.

Favoritism caused this family of faith to malfunction. But amazingly, while the sin of Isaac and Rebekah has consequences, it does not result in everlasting punishment. Because you see in the midst of this dysfunctional family is our functional God of grace. We see our God of grace in the blessing that Isaac and Rebekah were fighting over. The blessing was not just about wealth and power for Jacob or Esau. The blessing contained God’s promise of a savior for mankind. Jacob, like his father Isaac and his grandfather Abraham would be an ancestor of Jesus Christ, the Son of God and the son of man who came to make the family of faith functional again. The blessing was a promise that Jesus would live a perfect life in place of dysfunctional parents by respecting God the Father’s decision to not let the cup be passed from him. The blessing was a promise that Jesus would die on the cross in place of dysfunction parents and thereby pay for their sins.
